Lady Eagles Hold off UTSA in 74-71 Win

The Lady Eagles held off University of Texas-San Antonio 27 point, four quarter comeback in the 74-71 win.

“Really proud of our team tonight,” said Assistant Coach Kiley Hill, who filled in for under the weather head coach Joye-Lee McNelis. “We played so well for three-quarters of that basketball game.”

The Lady Eagles had multiple double-digit scorers with senior Brittanny Dinkins leading it with 16, freshman Shonte Hailes with 15, senior Lashyra Cotton 14 and junior Jayla King with 11 points.

The biggest problem for UTSA was their failure to protect the middle which allowed the Lady Eagles to drive throughout the night.
